The Little Mermaidby Leanne Guenther based on the fairy tale by Hans
Christian Andersen

Far out in the ocean, where the water is as blue as the
prettiest cornflower, and as clear as crystal there lived a beautiful princess
named Sara. Sara was very much like other princesses you may have met with
one small exception � Sara was a mermaid!

Now, we must not imagine that there is nothing at the
bottom of the sea but bare yellow sand. No, indeed; the most amazing
flowers and plants grow there; colourful fish, both large and small, glide
between the branches, as birds fly among the trees here upon land. In the
deepest spot of all, stands the castle of the Sea King. Its walls are built
of coral, the roof is formed of shells, that open and close as the water
flows over them. Their appearance is very beautiful, for in each lies
a glittering pearl.
